Questions

HS code 520528: common questions

What is HS code 520528?

HS code 520528 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Cotton yarn (other than sewing thread), containing 85 % or more by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale : Single yarn, of combed fibres : Measuring less than 83,33 decitex (exceeding 120 metric number)". The first two digits (52) are the chapter — Cotton — and digits 3-4 (5205) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 520528?

Common products classified under 520528 include combed cotton yarn extra fine, combed cotton yarn Ne >120, combed yarn 120/1 and above, combed single yarn ultra fine and similar items matching measuring less than 83. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 520528?

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

Is HS code 520528 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (520528) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
